As with the name Anthologica, the etymology of Isharia is a matter of hotboiling discussions that end in broken families and costly divorces.

Almost all scholars agree that the name is of Swahili origin, from hara "district, quarter" or "to be terribly frightened, to defecate, to purge" + -ishi "to live, to exist; to dwell", thus meaning "place to be terribly frightened" or "poo dwelling", in its primitive form *Haraishi. The elements were reversed shortly after the place was founded as a city, thus becoming Ishihara.

Izambri's troller scale, generated from an isharia discussion and structured from this.

PLAYTIME, CYBER-BANTERING
Fortitude required: disincentivising action required in support of any victim that should reasonably be expected to be of below normal fortitude (e.g. children and vulnerable adults).

TACTICAL, CYBER-TRICKERY
Fortitude required: Minimal action required in support of any victim that should reasonably be expected to be of normal fortitude (e.g. persons who have little contact with the members of the public).

STRATEGIC, CYBER-BULLYING
Fortitude required: Moderate action required in support of any victim that should not reasonably be expected to be of a person of above normal fortitude (e.g. people who are not in public-facing roles).

DOMINATION / CYBER-HICKERY
Fortitude required: Significant action required for any victim that should not reasonably be expected to be of beyond normal fortitude (e.g. people who are not public figures).

The etymology of Anthologica is a matter of occasional family discussion and barfights in the country which arises little to much controversy depending on the mob's mood.

Some scholars have suggested that it comes from ant (eusocial insects of the family Formicidae) + hology "science of holes" + –ica "collection of things (related to the combining root)", so the name would mean "collective scientific study of ant holes". Others suggest that ant– is in fact a short version of anti– "against" used before vowel or h, the toponym thus meaning "collection of (people) against the scientific study of holes".

Every time I try to upload an avatar I recieve an error message. What should I do?
And yes, it's still impossible to write to Rhetorica.

Hello warbear, welcome to Anthologica (Annie, for friends).

Queen Rhetorica seems to have disappeared for a few days, so I suggest you to be patient. I had problems to upload avatar images in the past, and the problem I had is that I tried to upload .png images that were a little too heavy, it seems. If you were trying to upload a .png image, I suggest you to upload the same image but in .jpg format.

If that isn't the problem, or you still have problems uploading the avatar, I suggest you to wait a little more!

If you are too lazy to read through the unlimited resource that is TV Tropes (if you're not familiar with it, beware!, you may end reading its articles from sunset to sunrise), you can take a look at the simpler but awesome The Periodic Table of Storytelling. It's a collection of narrative tropes arranged in the fashion of the periodic table of elements. Not all of them, though, just a small sample considering that TV Tropes has more than 20,000 tropes. Click on any of the tropes and you'll go to the corresponding article in the TV Tropes page.
